PHENYL-N-ARYLCABAMATES AND A PROCESS OF PRODUCING CELLULOSE N ARYLCARBAMATES THEREFROM A nonexclusive, irrevocable, royaltytree license in the invention herein described, throughout the world for all purposes of the United States Government, with the power to grant sublicenses for such purposes, is hereby granted to the Government of the United States of America.

The present invention relates to valuable new phenyl N- arylcarbamate esters which are particularly useful as finishing agents for cotton cellulose and to cellulose carbamate esters which impart useful properties to the cellulose.

More particularly, this invention relates to novel phenyl N- arylcarbamates, diphenyl N,N'-arylenedicarbamates, cellulose N-arylcarbamates and cellulose N,N-arylenedicarbamates and the process for making them. Phenyl N-arylcarbamates and diphenyl N,N'-arylenedicarbamates possess the following respective structures:

0 ll Call -O CNH-aryl and Call -O C NH-aryleneNH( J O-ClHs in which aryl represents phenyl, substituted phenyl, naphthyl, 2,3 and 4-pyridyl, biphenyl, and the like and arylene represents ortho, meta, and para-phenylene, substituted ortho, meta and para-phenylene, ortho, meta and parapyridylene and the like. Phenyl N-arylcarbamates and diphenyl N,N'-arylene-dicarbamates are prepared by the reaction of the aryl amine or arylene diamine with phenyl chloroformate in the presence of an acid acceptor. Phenyl N-arylcarbamates and diphenyl arylenedicarbamates can also be prepared from the aryl isocyanate or arylene diisocyanate and phenol. Phenyl N-arylcarbamates and diphenyl N,N-arylenedicarbamates are well known to be aryl isocyanate and arylene diisocyanate generators when heated since phenol or the phenoxide ion is a good leaving group in this type of elimination or substitution reaction. it is also well known that the substituent groups on the aryl or arylene moiety have a pronounced effect on the relative ease with which the carbamate frees the isocyanate. Although it was not specifically investigated relative to this invention, other good leaving groups in addition to phenol can be used for the production of isocyanate generators.

it is the object of this invention to provide novel phenyl N- arylcarbamates and diphenyl N,N'-arylenedicarbamates which are valuable and useful as isocyanate generators in that the isocyanates are generated in situ in the presence of cotton cellulose via a thermal treatment. It is a further object of this invention to provide a novel method for the production of aryl and arylene carbamylated celluloses. it is a still further object of this invention to provide novel cellulose N-aryl carbamates and cellulose N,N'-arylenedicarbamates which are useful in addition to other things as rot resistant and cross-linking treatments, respectively.

The above and other objects will become apparent in the course of the following description and the appended claims.

The phenyl N-arylcarbamates have the following structures:

0 l5 Rn NH 0 Calls where R is alkyl, alkoxyl, hydroxyl, thioalkyl, and dialkylamino, and n is l, 2, and 3;

where the point of attachment to the pyridine ring is in the 2, 3, and 4 position; and

where R is hydrogen, hydroxyl, alkyl, alkoxyl, and dialkylamino and arylene is phenylene, biphenylene, oxy-bisphenylene, and methylene bis-phenylene. ln the presence of a base to act as hydrogen chloride acceptor, phenyl N-arylcarbamates are produced by the action of phenyl chloroformate on an aryl amine, such as and (NH -arylene-R, where R, n, arylene and pyridyl attachments are the same as those listed above. All of the phenyl Narylcarbamates can theoretically be prepared from the corresponding isocyanate and phenol, with the possible exception of the p-hydroxyphenyl derivative, in which the hydroxyl group would also be expected to react with the isocyanate. All of the phenyl N-arylcarbamates described in this invention were prepared by the aryl amine-phenyl chloroformate method with the exceptions of p-methoxyphenyl, 4-methyl-mphenylene, 3,3'-dimethyl-4,4'-biphenylene and methylene bis- (4-phenylene) derivatives which were prepared from the respective isocyanates and phenol.

Although only monoand di-functional phenyl carbamates are described in this invention, there is every reason to expect triand poly-derivatives to be equally applicable.

The process for the production of aryl and arylene carbamylated celluloses comprises wetting the cellulosic material with a l to 25 percent by weight solution of a phenyl arylcarbamate in solvent in which the material is soluble, selected from a class of ethyl acetate, dimethylformamide, tetrahydrofuran, dimethylsulfoxide and water, and squeezing the wetted cellulosic material to about a percent wet pickup by using ordinary commercial padding techniques using two dips and two nips. Curing is accomplished by heating the wetted cellulosic material in a forced draft oven at temperatures from about to 250 C. for sufficient times until reaction is complete. The temperature and size of the oven together with the size of sample will dictate the curing times but in general the time will be from about V2 to 6 minutes. in a one-step cure the solvent is removed by evaporation and the cellulosic reaction occurs in a single operation. In a two-step operation the solvent is removed by evaporation separate from the cure by any conventional method and then, at a later time, curing the dry but impregnated cellulosic material at the curing temperature and time. It is not imperative, in order to practice this invention, to wash the treated cellulosic material either with water on an organic solvent, but it is desirable to do so in order to remove traces of unreacted material. All of the times, temperatures and treatments listed above are applicable to the invention but the use ofa one-step cure for 4 minutes at 200 C. is preferred.

in those cases where efficiencies were low, the cellulosic material is given a second treatment by repeating the procedure exactly as before using the arylcarbamylatcd cellulosic material which had been obtained as a result of the first treatment.

Cellulosic materials suitable for use in practicing this invention include cotton, viscose rayon, ramie, jute, and the like cellulosic materials in the form of fabric, yarn, or fiber.

The process of this invention finds particularly valuable utility in two recent developments in the field of cellulosic textiles. In the durable press area, this process can be used successfully by merely impregnating the garment or fabric with :1 solution of the diphenyl arylenedicarbamate, removing the solvent and completing the garment making process. Final cure of the garment can then be given in the normal manner. The other area of textile finishing in which this process has remarkable utility is in the thermally reversible creasing field because the cross-links possess the ability to impart thermally reversible creases to the cellulosic fabric. The fabric may be treater by the normal process in the flat state, made into a garment by the normal process and, because of this ability to thermally crease wrinkle resistant goods, merely creased Wllh an iron where desired to complete the garment. Another advantage lies in the fact that alterations may be readily accomplished in the finished garment.

The following examples are listed to further explain this invention but in no way are they intended to limit the scope of the invention.

EXAMPLE l6 A sample of cotton printcloth, which had been desized, scoured, and bleached, was preswelled by immersing in a 0.1 percent aqueous solution of Triton X- 100 wetting agent at room temperature for 16 hours. The water was removed from the sample by washing with four changes of dry DMF and padded at a tight squeeze to contain approximately one part by weight of DMF per one part by weight of sample. The sample was immersed for 15 minutes in a solution containing sufficient phenyl N-(4-methoxyphenyl)carbamate and DMF to ensure a final overall solution concentration of 10 parts by weight of carbamate in 40 parts by weight of DMF. The excess solution was removed by padding at least two dips and two nips at a tight squeeze so that the fabric contained approximately one part by weight of solution per one part by weight of fabric. The sample was then dried in a forced draft oven at 80 C. for 30 minutes and cured at 200 C. for 4 minutes. Unreacted carbamate was removed by extracting with hot DMF for at least minutes and rinsing in cold DMF; the sample was then washed with water to remove DMF and air-dried.
